Chapter 1
a/n: Okay, this is after Take My Breath Away, but I changed the ending of that episode
Craig and Manny are now togrther, and Emma is still not speaking to Sean.
Emma was having an awful morning. No, more like a bad week. All week Emma either
heard Manny going on and on about how great Craig was, or her mother going on and on
about 'Snake'. She had had it up to here with the male species taking over the lives of
people she cared about. When Emma entered the kitchen she found Mr. Simpson and her
mother making out near the toaster. She didn't even bother to make her presence known.
What was the point? Emma grabbed her bookbag and left for school.
Manny, on the other hand was having a wonderful morning. She woke up at 6:45 am to
her phone ringing. " Hello?" She said in a scratchy voice. " Manny? Is that you?" Manny
straightened up. " Craig?!" She said in a normal tone. " Morning." He was so sweet. He
was calling to say good morning. " Morning. We meeting at the park?" Manny could tell
he was smiling. " Yah...is Emma coming?" Craig asked. Emma was his friend but after just a
week he had gotten really tired hearing her complain. If it wasn't about how inconsiderate
Sean was, it was about how annoying Mr. Simpson was. " Maybe, I'll ask her if she could
let us walk alone today." " Cool."
As Emma was walking along the sidewalk she could hear footsteps behind her. She
started to speed up when a hand caught her shoulder. " Hey!" She said turning around
then letting out a sigh of relief. " What are you, stalking me or something?" Emma said to
Sean. " I wasn't stalking you. I was walking to school." " Oh." Emma turned and was about
to walk away when Sean stopped her. " Would it be so awful to walk with me?" Emma rolled
her eyes. Was this jerk really trying to be nice to her? " Whatever." She replied and started
to walk again.
Sean caught up with her. " So..." He said trying to start a conversation. " How's your
mom?" " Good." Obviously she wasn't in a good mood. " Okay, how are you?" " Great."
Why was she being so cold towards him? He knew why, but he thought the whole incident
last year was in the past. "How many times do I have to say I'm sorry?" Sean asked.
Emma smiled and said, " Until I'm willing to forgive you."
